Windows 7: Driver_power_state_failure

Hello,
I have been receiving the BSOD noted in the subject line of this post for some time now. I've done multiple re-installations of Windows, driver updates and so on. Without some guidance related to this blue screen I will remain at a loss as to where to focus my attention. Immediately below is a brief log of the crash and I've also uploaded the logs created with SF Diagnostic Tool. Note below File Description Class Driver for Port/Miniport Devices. I updated the gpu driver and also tried the previous 2 releases. Same with usb drivers and network driver. Thanks for any and all consideration of this issue.

Welcome to SF meat juice .0x9F which is DRIVER POWER STATE FAILURE that happens in
transitions between power states most commonly S0 (ON state) > S3 (Sleep state)
or vice-verse. You can read more HERE.
The most common cause is a device driver but sometimes it's the hardware itself
that is at fault.

Neither run in RAID, one is new the other is as old as the driver you pointed out. There was a special manufacturer supplied BIOS I had to use to get both cards to work on the same board. Ran fine for months. As you can see my disk requirements are larger than average.

I had difficulty bringing up the Disk Management Window. The system is clearly struggling with it. Unless you suggest otherwise I'll likely replace the oldest of the two cards.

Attached is the screen shot you requested and thank you again for your help. It truly is appreciated.

Little to lose by removing the old card. After doing so the system runs stable x24hrs now. Each card supports 4 hdd. Accordingly I've lost access to 4 drives until I replace the part. I feel very fortunate because it was the least expensive part in the box in addition to the oldest.

More importantly I feel fortunate that your good soul took the time to scour my logs to find the issue. I need to acknowledge that because if it were not for folks like you the world would be a much crappier place. So, thank you very much Yo Yo. You relieved what was turning into one giant time consuming headache.

That is good to hear!
Keep the thread open for another week or so, asses the situation and post back with an update .

Well Yo Yo, it's been a week and I've had no further BSOD. I think it is relatively safe to say the issue has been resolved in no small part thanks to you. The replacement card is on order and should arrive shortly. Again, I truly appreciate you being there.

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE againI though my error was fixed. Thanks for helping before. But I have this problem again after I formatted the pc. I would really appreciate if you can help me analyze the problem.
I have attached the zip file with everything in it using the SF Diagnostic Tool.
Thank you
